The new study focuses on the Coma Cluster, one of our nearest massive galaxy clusters, serving as a crucial calibration point for measuring cosmic distances. When the Dark Energy Spectroscopic ...

Astronomers have been confounded by recent evidence that the universe expanded at different rates throughout its life. New findings risk turning the tension into a crisis, scientists say.

Measurements of the distance to the Coma Cluster of galaxies find that it is millions of light years closer than the standard ...

New measurements reveal the Coma Cluster is 38 million light-years closer, worsening the Hubble tension crisis and challenging cosmology models.

This artist's impression of the 'quenching' process shows how a normal blue (star-forming) galaxy lost its gas while falling into the Coma Cluster very early on in its formation. Disclaimer ...

Scolnic recognized that this ladder could be anchored closer to Earth with a more precise distance to the Coma Cluster, one of the galaxy clusters nearest to us. "The DESI collaboration did the ...

In contrast, the newly discovered protocluster “MAGAZ3NE J095924+022537” contains a high fraction of red and dead galaxies like the nearby “Coma” cluster (right). The discovery of an ...

Explore the breathtaking beauty of the cosmos with seven incredible images of star clusters and galaxies captured by NASA.

The story of dark matter begins in the 1930s, when the Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky noticed that galaxies towards the edge of the Coma cluster of galaxies were rotating faster around the cluster ...

Incompatible values are determined for the speed at which the universe expands. Now the mysterious discrepancy deepens.

To firm up the DESI estimate, Scolnic and his team studied 12 different Type Ia supernovae dotted across the Coma cluster. They found that the cluster is sitting roughly 320 million light-years ...
